Isotropic stellar model in mimetic theory

We investigate how to derive an isotropic stellar model in the framework of mimetic gravitational theory. Recently, this theory has gained big interest due to its difference from Einstein's general relativity (GR), especially in the domain non-vacuum solutions. In this regard, we apply the field equation of mimetic gravitational theory to a spherically symmetric ansatz and obtain an over determined system of non-linear differential equations in which differential equations are less than the unknown functions. To overcome the over determined system we suppose a specific form of the temporal component of the metric potential, $g_{tt}$, and assume the vanishing of the anisotropic condition to derive the form of the spatial component of the metric, $g_{rr}$. In this regard, we discuss the possibility to derive a stellar isotropic model that is in agreement with observed pulsars. To examine the stability of the isotropic model we use the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation and the adiabatic index. Furthermore, we assess the model's validity by evaluating its compatibility with a broad range of observed pulsar masses and radii. We demonstrate that the model provides a good fit to these observations.
